Characterization of the Microbiome of Corals with Stony Coral Tissue Loss Disease along Florida’s Coral Reef [PDF]
Microorganisms, 2021 Stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) is an emergent and often lethal coral disease that was first reported near Miami, FL (USA) in 2014. Our objective was to determine if coral colonies showing signs of SCTLD possess a specific microbial signature across five susceptible species sampled in Florida’s Coral Reef.

Stony corals (Anthozoa: Scleractinia) of Burdwood Bank and neighbouring areas, SW Atlantic Ocean
Scientia Marina, 2019 The presence of ten species of stony corals was recorded at a total of 19 out of 48 sampling stations at Burdwood Bank and neighbouring areas. Scleractinians were recorded only at three stations inside the marine protected area (MPA) Namuncurá I, while ...

Marine Anoxia and Ocean Acidification During the End‐Permian Extinction
Geophysical Monograph Series, Page 325-340., 2021 Exploring the links between Large Igneous Provinces and dramatic environmental impact
An emerging consensus suggests that Large Igneous Provinces (LIPs) and Silicic LIPs (SLIPs) are a significant driver of dramatic global environmental and biological changes, including mass extinctions.

Structure and Function of Stony Coral Intraskeletal Polysaccharides [PDF]
ACS Omega, 2018 Polysaccharides represent a main weight fraction of the intraskeletal organic matrix of corals, but their structure, as well as their function in the calcification process, has been poorly investigated. This communication shows by a combination of techniques (nuclear magnetic resonance, Fourier transform infrared, and monosaccharide composition) that ...

Relating fish populations to coral colony size and complexity
Ecological Indicators, 2023 A goal of coral reef management is to provide habitat and nursery areas for fish populations. This requires simple and reliable methods for characterizing biological and physical reef features that contribute to fish habitat.

An Overview of Aplysinopsins: Synthesis and Biological Activities
Marine Drugs, 2023 Marine products are among the most promising sources of biologically active molecules. Aplysinopsins, tryptophan-derived marine natural products, were isolated from different natural marine sources including sponges, stony corals (hard corals) especially
